path problem: Shake screen

[Chai]

the problem is, when i create the path in the first time,I can see the liner.
But when I want to edit it again, the line between 2-3 balls is disappeared, i can't see the Liner (Actually, I can see small dots and it's not clearly like the first one which is THE LINE between balls)

It effects to my game as I want to make a vibrated screen. Yes, I can do vibrate right now. But the screen isn't come back to the original place when the screen is stop vibrating, NO PATH.

1st I create a path as a below picture. and mark the path to come back to the same as the original position.

Then, after I find that my game screen is vibrating and doesn't come back to the original position. So, I come to check the path again. and I find that
the path has something wrong. The line between 2 balls becomes dots. !

Let me tell you why...
1.(for the screen shaking) be shure that the last nod(Big dot) of your path is in the exact place as the fist one.

2.(the white dot problem)The little dot show the place where the object will be in each frame, in other word its the frames(Depending on how much you put in the frame section when you create the path)

hope that will help you...

and the "LINE" is not relly that, its only dots that are relly close. Thats all

I got mine to work by pressing shift. It works with path editing too!

Create a Real variable called shake.

In the View (or other main actor), create a Draw Actor event with the following:

Code: Select all

if (shake>0)
{
    if (shake>10) shake=10;
    view.x=saved_x+rand(shake)-rand(shake);
    view.y=saved_y+rand(shake)-rand(shake);
    shake-=0.05;
    if (shake<=0) { view.x=saved_x; view.y=saved_y; }
}

When an explosion or anything that would cause a screen shake to happen, use this command:

Code: Select all

shake+=5;

A couple of notes:
1. You have to know where the current position of the view is, and save it into the saved_x and saved_y variables.
2. If the shake takes too long to dissipate, change the subtracting value of 0.05 and increase it.
3. Shaking more than 10 pixels may be too much for the viewer to handle, but adjust it to your own taste.

Thank you all guys. It works!
Here is What I do.

Path

1 -> 2 -> 3->
Then put the Path 4 in the same position as path 2
Then put the Path 5 in the same position as path 1
Then put the Path 6 in the same position as path 3

Thank you all you guys.

My new game should be launched in 2 days.

Code: Select all

if (shake>0)
{
    if (shake>10) shake=10;
    view.x=saved_x+rand(shake)-rand(shake);
    view.y=saved_y+rand(shake)-rand(shake);
    shake-=0.05;
    if (shake<=0) { view.x=saved_x; view.y=saved_y; }
}

I like the code! If you agree, I will use it in my game. Just tell me your full name and I will mention you in Credits.

[ondy1985]

BeyoundtheTech> can I write Raphael "Booger" Salgado?

[BeyondtheTech]

I hope you know I was joking.

[ondy1985]

I hope you know I was joking.

Oh, were you? So what should I write in credits? Not hoping to release the game soon, but... once! And... I already wrote Raphael "Booger" Salgado into the Trial version credits

[BeyondtheTech]

Just "Raphael Salgado" will do. Thanks.
